Probably not a good sign when you have 1 model that doesn't sell period.
Now, you have two models you are stopping production on due to lack of sales...
Maybe Tesla isn't heading in the right direction.

Wow! Great work!
If Thomas sustained a minor ankle injury tonight, the headlines would be “FRANK-HURT”.

3 big differences between Spurs in Europe vs. in the League:
1. We focus on possession.
2. We press from the front.
3. We look to attack and be creative.
In the League, we might only do this for 30 minutes.
I'm planning on us reverting to the norm in the second half today.

I am not as down on Conte as a lot of people were.
I always felt that the gall bladder, the losses of close friends, and the isolation of being in London without his family created his bad ending with Spurs.
But when he was fun...he was fun.

The senseless murder of Alex Pretti is finally showing everyday folks that the Trump regime is beyond any redemption. And in an anti-religious age, it's sparked a quest for a new American morality

The Minnesota killings laid bare that Trump’s project is regime change. The goal was described by MAGA thinkers, the pattern set on Day One. The nation let his early moves—the Jan. 6 pardons, the TikTok power grab—slip by. Denial & complacency must end. Now

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

Kyle Rittenhouse & Ashli Babbitt did. Renee Good & Alex Pretti didn't. On Jan 6, the insurrectionists did. The cops didn't.
Rinse, repeat.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
